How to use this resource

These reflection activities provide the perfect opportunity for children to celebrate their achievements and growth during the school year. You can use the worksheet for independent work during transition days, set activities as gentle end-of-term homework, or use the PowerPoint for guided whole-class reflection sessions. The activity cards work brilliantly in carousel sessions, allowing children to move between activities at their own pace.

For classes with limited printer access, the PowerPoint version offers a paper-free alternative that works wonderfully on interactive whiteboards or tablets. Each activity encourages children to think positively about their school year while practising important skills in literacy, numeracy and creative thinking.
